Muddy Mountain Orchestra

SOUTH FORK ó In spite of the West Fork Fire, South Fork Music Association is moving forward with their summer 2013 events as scheduled. This includes the Free Summer Concerts on Sundays in July. This Sunday, July 7th will feature Muddy Mountain Orchestra from Taos, NM.

The Muddy Mountain Orchestra was born in 2011 out of late-night jam sessions under the stars on Lama Mountain. Band members include Rob Watt on vocals, mandolin, and banjo, Kate Mann on vocals, acoustic guitar, and banjo, Caroline Watt on upright bass, and Mark Dudrow on cello and mandolin.

They play a danceable and eclectic mix of fiddle tunes, old-timey ballads, bluegrass, country, and original music. If you enjoy Allison Krauss, Crooked Still, Patti Smith, Willie Nelson, or Darol Angerís Republic of Strings; you are sure to enjoy Muddy Mountain Orchestra.

The remainder of Julyís lineup consists of Tyler Grant (July 14), Don Richmond (July 21) and Lipbone Redding (July 28). Donít forget about Tyler Grantís Guitar Workshop on July 14 from 12- 3 p.m. at the South Fork Community Building. Email sfma1@live.net to register for the workshop.

All free concerts begin at 5 p.m. and are held at the South Fork Visitor Center pavilion with refreshments available for purchase.
